C569 The trail of the children
Baili Jinxiu glanced outside the room, it was already deep into the twilight, it was indeed time for dinner, as he was afraid that the baby would barge in and see him like this, he immediately got up and put on his clothes, his movements completed in one go.
Gong Xiaoxuan who was behind him stared at him, his usually cold eyes were filled with laughter, if someone who was familiar with Gong Xiaoxuan saw him, they would probably think it was just an illusion.
"Foolish mother, your baby's heart is suffering. Your baby has been waiting outside for you and Gong's Father for a long time, and your baby's stomach is already flat from starvation."
The moment Baili Jinxiu stepped out of the door, he was hugged by the baby's thigh. The next thing he saw was the baby's snot and tears, complaining about the grievances.
Baili Jinxiu didn't know whether to laugh or cry. He scooped the baby up and stuffed it into Gong Xiaoxuan's arms behind his back, "Go cry with your Gong's Father."
The baby blinked his watery eyes and looked at his Gong's Father's embrace. His tears stopped instantly, and he smiled widely at Gong Xiaoxuan, causing him to sigh helplessly.
Where there was a baby, there was always a lot more laughter and laughter. After eating a meal with her Gong's Father, Baili Jinxiu laughed so much that he fell backwards and forwards, completely forgetting his previous awkwardness with Gong Xiaoxuan.
The night was calm and peaceful. During the afternoon of the next day, the dark guards who had been searching for a long time finally had some results.
"Prince, Prince, while we were searching, our subordinates discovered traces of people living on a mountain outside the capital. After lurking for a while, we discovered that it was people from the Moru Country, and the people living on the mountain should be the hiding Crown Prince Jin Nie and Princess Mingxi. Furthermore, we found some children's clothes on the way up the mountain."
Baili Jinxiu listened to the guard kneeling in front of him reporting on the situation, and when he saw the guard passing him a piece of child's clothing, he casually handed it over to the Grandpa Mu behind him. When the Grandpa Mu heard that there was news about the children, he rushed over, and Baili Jinxiu allowed him to listen to the news together.
At this time, Grandpa Mu was somewhat excited when he saw the child's clothes. After carefully inspecting them, he incoherently said, "These are A-Li's clothes! Ah Li's clothes! " A Li was the biological grandson of the Grandpa Mu.
When they found Ah Li's clothes on the way up the mountain, all of the children of Yolk Sect would definitely be imprisoned on the mountain. Furthermore, it was highly likely that the Princess Mingxi and Prince Jin Nie were also on the mountain.
Baili Jinxiu's eyes flashed with an eager look. It seemed that he wanted to capture them all this time.
"How is the mountain? Did you leave anyone on the mountain? "
Compared to Baili Jinxiu's eagerness to try, Gong Xiaoxuan was even more cautious and calm. After thinking carefully, he asked two important questions.
The guard thought for a moment and replied, "When this subordinate returned, I left two guards there to observe the situation. There are also a portion of Princess Consort's men lurking around. The mountain was extremely well hidden, and the people from Moru Country had been patrolling since the middle of the mountain, so they were not clear on the situation of the mountain.
The "subordinate of the consort" in the secret guard's mouth should be someone from the Yolk Sect. Although the people from the Yolk Sect were not impulsive after hearing the news about the children, knowing how to lurk in the surroundings made Baili Jinxiu feel very gratified.
However, the secret guards did not even manage to figure out the situation at the mountain where the Princess Mingxi and Prince Jin Nie were. This made Baili Jinxiu feel a little helpless, but he knew that he could not rush this kind of thing.
"How many people are there up there?"
Baili Jinxiu carefully thought about it, this Princess Mingxi and Crown Prince Jin Nie, as foreign princes and princesses, were definitely unable to bring too many people into the Grean Yan. Adding the guards that were secretly watching them, there should not be more than five hundred people present.
And previously, because of Sa Ya's matter, Crown Prince Jin Nie had lost a lot of people, adding the later bits and pieces of loss, there shouldn't be many people left standing beside Crown Prince Jin Nie and Princess Mingxi.
Just as expected, after Baili Jinxiu finished thinking, he heard the secret guard report, "Looking at the number of patrols on the mountain, their preliminary estimate is about a hundred people."
Only a hundred people! Baili Jinxiu's eyes flashed. Since there were only a hundred people and they had already found the mountain, attacking the mountain peak would be easy.
"Prince, are we going to go over now?"
Baili Jinxiu looked at Gong Xiaoxuan, asking for his opinion. After all, she was already vaguely affected by the Princess Mingxi, if he went over alone, it would be hard to not be bewitched by him.
Baili Jinxiu liked frontal battles. In real life battles, he hated this kind of thing that she wasn't familiar with and couldn't fight against.
It was just like when a punch from [Storing Power] landed on a piece of cotton. It was completely empty, and it would suddenly produce something she did not expect.
That feeling was simply terrible.
Gong Xiaoxuan lightly nodded his head, "I will bring some people to the army camp, the wangfei will be waiting for my news at home."
Because of the matter of Baili Jinxiu being affected by the Princess Mingxi's state of mind, Gong Xiaoxuan had unhesitatingly excluded Baili Jinxiu.
"No." Baili Jinxiu frowned, "If the Prince sends people over from the army camp, if the people from the Crown Prince's side find out about this, they would say that the Prince has secretly sent people over, and might even put on a large hat with the intention to rebel.
Furthermore, all of the children of the Yolk Sect are there. If Prince rashly sends troops to surround them, it will be unavoidable for Prince Jin Nie to use those children as a shield.
Baili Jinxiu talked for a long time, then suddenly thought of something, and after a flash of determination in his eyes, he said: "I want to go over with Prince, I can instruct the Yolk Sect hidden in the vicinity to coordinate, and this way the results will be twice the result with half the effort."
Gong Xiaoxuan nodded his head, he was indeed too reckless previously, and because he was worried that Baili Jinxiu would be mixed in again, he was worried that Princess Mingxi would affect his emotions, hence he was a little confused.
"Alright, I'll instruct the dark guards to gather and bring the dark guards over."
The dark guards were all skilled fighters. Although the number of them were few, they could all fight one against ten.
Hearing that Gong Xiaoxuan had brought the hidden guards over, Baili Jinxiu nodded his head in satisfaction and also ordered the Grandpa Mu to gather the people from the Yolk Sect.
In order to avoid alerting the enemy, they split up into several batches and headed out of the city.
Baili Jinxiu and Gong Xiaoxuan sat on horseback, bringing the Grandpa Mu, the secret guard who reported everything, and a few guards with them as they approached the secret mountain mentioned by the secret guard.
But for some reason, the more Baili Jinxiu walked, the more he felt a sense of suppression. She kept having the feeling that something was secretly watching them from the shadows, but after careful examination, he found that there was nothing at all.
